GracoSlimFit 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat, Ultra-Space-Saving Design, Darcie, Suitable for Rear and Forward-Facing, Highback Booster Seat with 10-Position Headrest

Coming from a racing background, I understand the importance of a well made seat and this is the only seat, that fit the billing and budget, otherwise popa was fixing to make some calls to the racing seat folks, but Nanna thought spending a few grand on a racing seat with carbon fiber technology may be over the top.Racing seat tech is based on fit and limiting movement and for a store bought seat after my daughter was complaining about the first 40 dollar special at wally world landed me on this one. Her direct quote being " I can not believe how much easier it is to get this one in and out and how much better it fits her".

Super happy. Did research first, but not much to compare to since it’s my first kid. Super easy install and remove. Easy to remove and wash covers. Specifically I bought this for the compact size and light weight in my small SUV. Compared it in person to a similar Britax model (brand we had for infant seat) and this was by far superior overall in the above mentioned notes. Cup holder is cumbersome, probably with any seat, but also easy to remove. Little belt clip holders are useless, not a valued feature. Bought for a toddler, so only used it forward facing, therefore no opinion on rear facing usability. One caveat would be that when in the appropriate reclined level, I still feel like my child is very very upright, not even slightly reclined, so when she does happen to fall asleep in the car her head ends up in a very uncomfortable position. But overall so pleased with it that we ended up buying a second one for our other vehicle when it came on sale so we didn’t have to transfer it back and forth. Highly recommend.

My son is only 3 months and has only ever used an infant car seat (from a very expensive brand). He has acid reflex and food allergies (that we haven't figured out what causes him issues with yet) and everything we got into the car, he would scream bloody murder in pain. Once we got to our destination, he would stop.Our lactation consultant recommended this car seat specially for babies that have reflux issues. Infant car seats are more curved than convertible ones and causes pressure on the stomach which can be very painful. Literally on his first car ride, not a peep. He enjoyed looking out the window and fell asleep pretty quickly. My wife and I dreaded leaving the house and only did for doctor appointments or necessities. This car seat has figuratively saved our mental health.As for the actual car seat, I'm very impressed by the quality and build. I used the lower adapters and set it up in rear facing mode and it took me no more than 5 minutes. I love the rotating cup holders to save space and the cushions are very comfortable. I'm so excited to have a seat that my son enjoys and can be comfortable in.

Easy to install after watching a YouTube video! Great quality! My granddaughter loves it! Cup holders and a lot more comfortable to her than her first one. Great head support. I don't have a picture or video because I am away from home!

I’ve been using the Graco SlimFit 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat in the Darcie pattern for a few weeks now, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The biggest win for me is the space-saving design—our car isn’t huge, and this seat fits perfectly without feeling bulky or crowding the backseat. It’s also been really convenient having one seat that transitions from rear-facing to forward-facing to a booster. It feels like a smart long-term investment.Installation was pretty straightforward (we used the LATCH system), and once installed, it feels super secure. My daughter seems really comfortable in it, and I like that the headrest has 10 adjustable positions—it’s easy to find the right fit as she grows. The cup holders are a nice touch too, and I appreciate that they rotate in to save space.Overall, it’s sturdy, safe, and practical. Highly recommend for anyone looking to save space without sacrificing quality or comfort.

By far the best car seat I’ve ever had. I’ll be repurchasing for my infant once he’s ready to transition to a convertible car seat. Slim enough to fit in the middle and have 2 adults comfortable in the back seat!

Great seat for the grandkids. Way easier than moving car seats every time we pick her up
